I've been told that among the coaching staff, Thommo is the most popular/respected player, as he follows the team structures and guidelines the best of any of the players.

Yeah, he gets the shits on whenever he gives away a free and often costs him 50, it's my only qualm with him, love his hardness and grit.

Stats don't always mean everything. you could get 30 disposals like Gibbs did when he was playing of HB getting cheap stats. Never see Gibbs doing the grunt work that the likes of Priddis and Thommo do week in week out

I think that part of his game has improved, it had to given the lack of quality in the midfield at Carlton.

Prestia deal done for the Tigers

Richmond: Prestia & pick 24

Gold Coast: Pick 6 & Richmonds 2nd pick 2017
2017, 2019 & 2020 PREMIERS
RICHMOND, RICHMOND, RICHMOND.


Let that be a lesson to you Sturt. You don't beat Glenelg 3 times in a row in Grand Finals and get away with it.

Don't ever change Richmond!
Terrible deal, they have basically just coughed up pick 6 straight out.

Looks like movement with Deledio. GWS in the hunt believed to be in Sydney for medical but Richmond would have to wear some of the salary but might get pick 15 which puts us back in the 1st round

Caddy for Deledio is still rumoured to be on the table.

Not so sure now. Lyons nominated GC, if we get their 2nd rd pick for him, that and 13 will get Gibbs
